How to only download reblogs metadata from tumblr (but still get media from main blog)?

[Twi-Hard]

I'm trying to get all media from the blogs I want but only get the metadata for the reblogs. Is this possible? Reblogs metadata can be used to rebuild deleted accounts since when a blog is deleted the reblogs aren't. Most posts are reblogs so it takes too much resources.

You can use reblogged and not reblogged as a filter statement to distinguish between regular and reblog.

It should be possible to only download regular blog files with --filter "not reblogged" and to write only reblog post metadata with

{
    "name": "metadata",
    "event": "post",
    "filename": "{id}.json",
    "filter": "reblogged"
}

as a post processor.

I would have never to thought to try a command line argument. Thanks :)
It works now

You can use "image-filter": "not reblogged" in a config file instead of --filter on command-line.
